The man pretty much nails it: while Fallout - the more recent of the two role-playing games - was mechanically superior to Oblivion, the last game in the Elder Scrolls series of role-playing games, its desolate post-apocalyptic world just wasn't much fun. Oblivion's Cyrodiil, on the other hand...well, the game out in 2006 and I still make the time once or twice a year to go smell the fresh air, hunt some deer or clear out a dungeon or two.
